"Why would anyone buy DVD's of movies today? Everything is right there on digital stores to rent or buy?"

For exactly THIS reason. Just because you own a digital copy or it's on your favorite streaming service does not mean you will always have access to it.

The only way you know you'll always have it, is if you own a physical copy.

And I know people are going to come at me with "But I have a digital download that's on my PC so it's mine." Sure, you do, but if anything ever happens to your computer, or your backup solutions fails and you need to get it again, that's not going to work if it's taken down from the digital store you got it from. Physical copies you can hold in your hand are the only real way.

Those are exxellent points. I wonder what the viability of storing data in long-lasting read-only storage for more compactness than regular "physical media" is...
Xoa Gray mastodon (AP)
@Xenia0040 I'd imagine it depends on specifically what kind of media, how robust that media is, and if it's stored with redundancy. Our storage solutions do seem to be getting better all the time.

"You have tampered in the Gods' domain!" the god shouted.

"Well, maybe, but you gods tamper in the human domain all the time!"

"That's... That's different!"

"How?"

"We are Gods! It's what we do!"

"And we are human. Likewise."

"I..." The god sighed. "Fair. But keep it quiet, okay?"

Satan Goose has literally helped me cross the street, and I'm not even an old lady. (Occasionally I'm trying to cross a busy intersection and a goose wanders into traffic, bringing everything to a halt. So I cross as well.)

what is this slander canada geese are precious beings!

You know how Canadians are (generally) polite, kind, helpful and nice?

They weren't always that way.

In 1907, the Canadian Prime Minister was concerned about the populace, who all seethed with hatred and anger. Violence was commonplace.

The Prime Minister (who was also a wizard), put a spell on Canadian soil. The ritual was long and complex, but in the end, the PM had managed to weave a spell that would channel all of the hatred within Canadians into a very peaceful, gentle animal, the Canada Goose.

The PM figured that geese were harmless and that the spell wouldn't affect them. But the hatred channeled into the Canada Goose changed them from friendly and gentle into the feathered, furious bastards we know and love today.

Thank you, Canada Geese. If not for you, Canada would have started World War 3 by now.

@hexaitos I think as furries we might be a little skewed in this. LOL!

A week after the teleport network had opened, it was already routine. Johnson stepped onto the plate and thought about the Bank Street station.

He arrived at the leisure park. He complained to a guard, who said:

"It takes you where you need to be."

Behind him, his daughter's soccer game started.

@Captain Packrat @Tilton Raccoon I remember that one! I wonder if it's still lurking in a box somewhere in the garage.

In this heatwave, it's tempting to "save water" by forgetting water hygiene, but mains water contains legionella which can start growing as soon as the water temperature goes above 20℃. Heating water above 50-60℃ kills all the legionella, but the current 30-40℃ air temperatures are its perfect growth range.

  • If your cold water is warmer than usual, it's probably been sitting in pipes that get enough sun to warm it above 20℃. Don't drink it: run the tap until you get cold, fresh water.
  • Electric showers don't heat water enough to sterilise it, and mixer showers mix sterile hot water with germy cold water, which then sits in the shower hose for hours to days. Don't stand in the shower water until it gets hot.
  • Limescale promotes the growth of legionella and other bacteria. Keeping your taps and shower head clean don't just make them look nicer, it improves your water quality. Water softening can help too but it's an expensive retrofit.
  • Don't drink water that's been sitting in a glass or jug for too long. Don't use the water that's been in your washing-up bowl since yesterday.

The UK has very stringent water quality standards and a history of very safe tap water. But a lot of our domestic water supplies - especially in older buildings - were built assuming the cold water would just stay cold, so now's the time to be extra careful. Don't start drinking lukewarm shower water because it feels nice on a hot day.

Ah, the days when "mini" computers were only a cabinet or two, versus a mainframe taking up a roomfull of cabinets. Even that suitcase-sized micro was tiny compared with a mini.

“The only way off this hellish treadmill is to reduce our dependence on #fossilfuels.

Our next prime minister needs to act on the evidence outside their window, and the advice of their scientific advisers, and stay the course on #climate policies.

The alternative is parched reservoirs, unaffordable food, shuttered hospitals and schools and wildly fluctuating bills each time a new oil war is kindled.”

The only part of the “Idiocracy” future I would actually like to see implemented is for our money to say “THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ‘BOUT … HAULIN’ ASS, GETTIN’ PAID” on it. If elected, I promise to push through this important legislation.

I wonder sometimes what would have happened if the people from the 30's through the 60's had depicted a future where the tech is more like it actually is today. Not as a world of wonderful innovations that advanced man beyond anything we may have otherwise had, but as an ad filled, "AI" infested, data raping whirlwind where privacy was all but totally destroyed and it's become so prevalent that there are entire generations that have no recollection of what it was like to have actual privacy, or to know the feeling of buying something and actually fully owning it.

I wonder how that would have effected the modern day? Would our parents and grandparents have fought harder to make sure the rampant enshitification we've been seeing over the last decade or so didn't happen? Would they have cared at all?

Would we have turned our backs on technology all together if we had the understanding that it would bring so much unwanted baggage along, and that some of the fundamental rights we have in most nations would just be thrown away by these big tech companies?

I really don't know. But I have a feeling it would have been a different world one way or another.

A watercolor piece painted live, beside a small pond filled with turtles.
There are certain places that quietly change meaning forever after a single day. Places that suddenly become tied to memory and the feeling of wanting to hold onto a moment for just a little longer.

This piece carries a very important date for me. And turtles were meaningful in my family.
And happy birthday for the one who was the best dad in the world!

This piece will be exhibited in the Anthrocon's Art Show.

I have a very similar experience at my previous company. Terrible people who were rewarded handsomely for being atrocious. Open misogyny, homophobia, dishonesty, and outright abuse. (Yes, Stephen Bohanon, fake "founder" of Alkami, this is you.)

Extreme wealth is a red flag of genetic abnormalities that indicate psychopathy. I've seen so many data points to indicate the same, no one can change my mind.

On the eve of the summer solstice, I pick seven different flowers, in seven different fields, all in complete silence. I tie them into a bouquet and put it under my pillow.

Doing so means that tonight, I will dream of my true love.

I already live with her, but I like dreaming of her too.
